SYN, synergism; ANT, antagonism; IND, indifference. For the FICI model, synergy was defined as a FICI of ≤0.5, antagonism was defined as a FICI of >4.0, and indifference was defined as a FICI of >0.5 to 4 (i.e., no interaction). For the ΔE model, ΣSYN and ΣANT were the sums of the percentages of all statistically significant synergistic and antagonistic interactions. Interactions with <100% statistically significant interactions were considered weak synergism, those with 100 to 200% statistically significant interactions were considered moderate, and those with >200% statistically significant interactions were considered strong.
